Nadstar Watermelon Cutter 1607256 – 12-Slice Stainless Steel Tool

Our review

This is a dedicated melon tool from Nadstar that presses down to produce twelve slices of the same size, with a centre cut-out and a non-stick handle for grip. It suits households that serve watermelon often, fruit vendors preparing trays, and anyone who finds a knife slow or uneven on large fruit. The stainless steel is described as rust proof, and the maker says it works on all melon types, though firmer varieties may need more pressure. Before buying, check the cutter's diameter against the melons you normally buy, since a tool that is too small will not pass through a big fruit. Compare it with plain knives, which are more versatile, and with single-blade slicers, which cost less but give you less uniformity. Available on Sokonia.
